# Deploy the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices
|
||||
Although Surface devices are typically automatically updated with the latest device drivers and firmware via Windows Update, sometimes it's necessary to download and install updates manually, such as during a Windows deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Download MSI files
|
||||
To download MSI files, refer to the following Microsoft Support page:
|
||||
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
> This article is intended for use by IT professionals and technical support agents, and applies only to Surface devices.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> **Home users:** If you're looking for help installing Surface updates or firmware on a home device, please see [Update Surface firmware and Windows 10](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4023505).
|
||||
|
||||
- [Download drivers and firmware for Surface](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4023482/surface-download-drivers-and-firmware-for-surface)<br>
|
||||
Installation files for administrative tools, drivers for accessories, and updates for Windows are also available for some devices.
|
||||
Under typical conditions, Windows Update automatically keeps Surface devices up-to-date with the latest device drivers and firmware. However, sometimes you may have to manually download and install updates manually. For example, you may have to manually manage updates while deploying a new version of Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
## Downloading MSI files
|
||||
|
||||
To download MSI files, see [Download drivers and firmware for Surface](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4023482/surface-download-drivers-and-firmware-for-surface). This article also includes installation files for administrative tools, drivers for accessories, and for some devices, updates for Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploying MSI files
|
||||
Driver and firmware updates for Surface devices consisting of all required cumulative updates are packaged in separate MSI files for specific versions of Windows 10.
|
||||
|
||||
The MSI file names contain useful information including the minimum supported Windows build number required to install the drivers and firmware. For example, to install the drivers contained in SurfaceBook_Win10_17763_19.080.2031.0.msi requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709 or later installed on your Surface Book.
|
||||
Specific versions of Windows 10 have separate MSI files. Each MSI file contains all required cumulative driver and firmware updates for Surface devices.
|
||||
|
||||
To view build numbers for each version, refer to [Windows 10 release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10/release-information).
|
||||
The MSI file names contain useful information, including the minimum supported Windows build number required to install the drivers and firmware. For example, to install the drivers contained in SurfaceBook_Win10_17763_19.080.2031.0.msi on a Surface Book, the Surface Book must be running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
For information about build numbers for each version, see [Windows 10 release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10/release-information).
|
||||
|
||||
### Surface MSI naming convention
|
||||
Beginning in August 2019, MSI files use the following naming formula:
|
||||
|
||||
- Product > Windows release > Windows build number > Version number > Revision of version number (typically zero).
|
||||
Beginning in August, 2019, MSI files use the following naming formula:
|
||||
|
||||
> *Product*\_*Windows release*\_*Windows build number*\_*Version number*\_*Revision of version number (typically zero)*.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
SurfacePro6_Win10_18362_19.073.44195_0.msi :
|
||||
|
||||
| Product | Windows release | Build | Version | Revision of version |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| SurfacePro6 | Win10 | 18362 | 19.073.44195 | 0 |
|
||||
| | | | Indicates key date and sequence information. | Indicates release history of the update. |
|
||||
| | | | **19:** Signifies the year (2019).<br>**073**: Signifies the month (July) and week of the release (3). <br>**44195**: Signifies the minute of the month that the MSI file was created. |**0:** Signifies it's the first release of version 1907344195 and has not been re-released for any reason. |
|
||||
Consider the following MSI file:
|
||||
|
||||
> SurfacePro6_Win10_18362_19.073.44195_0.msi
|
||||
|
||||
This file name provides the following information:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Product:** SurfacePro6
|
||||
- **Windows release:** Win10
|
||||
- **Build:** 18362
|
||||
- **Version:** 19.073.44195 (date and time that the file was created)
|
||||
- **Year:** 19 (2019)
|
||||
- **Month and week:** 073 (third week of July)
|
||||
- **Minute of the month:** 44195
|
||||
- **Revision of version:** 0 (first release of this version)
|
||||
|
||||
### Legacy Surface MSI naming convention
|
||||
Legacy MSI files prior to August 2019 followed the same overall naming formula but used a different method to derive the version number.
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy MSI files (files build before August, 2019) followed the same overall naming formula, but used a different method to derive the version number.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi :
|
||||
|
||||
| Product | Windows release | Build | Version | Revision of version |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| SurfacePro6 | Win10 | 16299 | 1900307 | 0 |
|
||||
| | | | Indicates key date and sequence information. | Indicates release history of the MSI file. |
|
||||
| | | | **19:** Signifies the year (2019)<br>**003**: Signifies that it’s the third release of 2019.<br>**07**: Signifies the product version number. (Surface Pro 6 is officially the seventh version of Surface Pro.) | **0:** Signifies it's the first release of version 1900307 and has not been re-released for any reason. |
|
||||
Consider the following MSI file:
|
||||
|
||||
Look to the **version** number to determine the latest files that contain the most recent security updates. For example, you might need to install the newest file from the following list:
|
||||
> SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi
|
||||
|
||||
This file name provides the following information:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Product:** SurfacePro6
|
||||
- **Windows release:** Win10
|
||||
- **Build:** 16299
|
||||
- **Version:** 1900307
|
||||
- **Year:** 19 (2019)
|
||||
- **Number of release:** 003 (third release of the year)
|
||||
- **Product version number:** 07 (Surface Pro 6 is officially the seventh version of Surface Pro)
|
||||
- **Revision of version:** 0 (first release of this version)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the **version** number to determine the latest files that contain the most recent security updates. For example, consider the following list:
|
||||
|
||||
- SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi
|
||||
- SurfacePro6_Win10_17134_1808507_3.msi
|
||||
- SurfacePro6_Win10_17763_1808707_3.msi
|
||||
|
||||
The first file — SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi — is the newest because its VERSION field has the newest build in 2019; the other files are from 2018.
|
||||
In this list, the newest file is the first file (SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi). Its **Version** field has the newest date (2019). The other files are from 2018.
|
||||
|
||||
